What is an HOA Lockbox Solution?

What is a lockbox solution for HOAs and how is it used for community management companies?

A lockbox is a name for the role banks play in receiving and depositing homeowner association payments for you.

The current process for utilizing a lockbox for HOAs involves homeowners sending their regular homeowner payments for community dues and monthly assessments to a PO box addressed to your bank. The bank opens the mail, scans the check and payment coupon and deposits all the money into the HOAs bank account automatically.

Why Use An HOA Lockbox Service?

The lockbox process streamlines HOA payment processing by eliminating the work for your Accounts Receivable department when it comes to receiving homeowner dues. Instead of having them do the manual check processing for HOA's (meaning they get all the mail, match it up to the homeowner, credit the homeowner's account and deposit the money by running the micr code through a scanner connected to your accounting software), the bank easily does it all. Plus, they send a deposit file to your accountant letting them know your funds have been deposited. With the number of homeowner checks processed each year, it really is quite a savings.

If you intend to use an HOA lockbox operation to process your Accounts Receivables (AR) then this page is for you. Even if you are undecided about lockbox operations, getting educated about the process and laying the groundwork early will help make the switch easier down the road.
